I have a friend looking to purchase this boat and give it a repower, Its on facebook.
I cant find any information on where they were built etc. any one know,
Looks like late 90's prehaps? I thought it looked a bit like a Lazercraft.

has lines very similar to Seahouse brand - which was also built in the deep south like the Lazercraft you mentioned
No disintegrations!

Looks like a Marco to me. Good boats but fairly light.

Graeme Stewart in Whangamata built them. Brother still has his boat has been abused for 15 years and still going, tough boats. Heavier than Marco built from plate alloy not pressed.

Mate had one here in Whangarei just outgrew it. Bloody solid and a good ride. Made by same chap that used to make AMF I believe. I can give him your number if you want more lowdown. That looks like it's the very same boat too.

The hull plans come from the same marine designer.
